Tender description
As Genomics England has expanded the variety of datasets available in the National Genomic Research Library (NGRL), it faces challenges in ensuring researchers are able to understand and use the data on offer. To help define a 'core dataset' to inform prioritisation decisions, Genomics England needs to understand the minimum data needs of researchers. The supplier will provide user research services investigating the data needs of users of Genomics England's Research Environment. Lot 1: The Supplier will provide 22.5 Business Days' worth of user research services over the course of the contract to help inform the data strategy and roadmap of the Genomics England Research Tribe. The work will help the core data definition team (including the Define and Deliver Scientific Research (DDSR) service owner and the Data Infrastructure Squad product manager) understand the data needs of Users. This will include mapping their requirements for data and metadata, as well as identifying value and pain points in the current experience.
